15I amathe true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.2 bEvery branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.3 Nowcye are clean throughdthe word which I have spoken unto you.4 eAbide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.5 I am the vine,fye are the branches:eHe that abideth in me, and I in him, the samegbringeth forth much fruit: for||without me ye can do nothing.6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, andhis withered; andimen gather them, andijcast them into the fire, andithey are burned.7 kIf ye abide in me, anddmy words abide in you,lye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.8 mHerein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit;kso shall ye be my disciples.9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye innmy love.10 oIf ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have keptpmy Father’s commandments, and abide in his love.

11 These things have I spoken unto you, thatqmy joy might remain in you, andrthat your joy might be full.12 This is my commandment,sThat ye love one another, as I have loved you.13 tGreater love hath no man than this,uthat a man lay down his life for his friends.14 Ye arexmy friends,yif ye do whatsoever I command you.15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things thatzI have heard of my FatheraI have made known unto you.16 Ye have not chosen me, butbI have chosen you, andcordained you, that ye should go anddbring forth fruit, and thateyour fruit should remain: thatfwhatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.17 These things I command you,gthat ye love one another.18 Ifhthe world hate you, ye knowthat it hated meibefore ithated you.19 kIf ye were of the world, the world would love his own: butlbecause ye are not of the world, butbI have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.20 Remember the word that I said unto you,mThe servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me,nthey will also persecute you;oif they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.21 Butpall these things will they do unto youqfor my name’s sake,rbecause they know not him that sent me.22 If I had not come and spoken unto them,sthey had not had sin:tbut now they have no||ucloke for their sin.23 He that hateth me hateth my Father also.24 If I had not done among themxthe works which none other man did,sthey had not had sin: but now have they bothyseen andzhated both me and my Father.25 But thiscomethtopass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written inatheir law,bThey hated me without a cause.26 But whencthe Comforter is come,dwhom I will send unto you from the Father, evenethe Spirit of truth,dwhich proceedeth from the Father,fhe shall testify of me:27 Andgye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with mehfrom the beginning.
